The St. Louis Cardinals have a double standard. This week they let utility player Scott Spezio go after he was indicted by a grand jury in California.
It seems Spezio has issues with alcohol and got himself in trouble with Orange County deputies. According to reports Spezio allegedly punched a neighbor after he ran his car into a fence in December after drinking. The Birds immediately released him and will pay him two plus million dollars this year. And then buyout his contract next year.
But the double standard lies in the way the Cardinals treat different individuals. Redbird manager Tony LaRussa was convicted of driving while under the influence last year and the Cardinals rewarded him by renewing his contract for two years.
It seems to me LaRussa should be canned too. If the Cardinals are serious about alcohol and substance abuse then LaRussa needs to be fired for his drunk driving.
